We human beings are an odd bunch. We love to be patriotic! We're proud of our countries! We love to wave our country's flag! How fantastic when our countries win wars, and sporting events!
And then income tax time comes . . .
At tax time, we don't want to have anything to do with our country, or give our country its due. Not only do we not want to give our country its due, but we want to take from our country. At tax time, we don't want our country to win.
We talk about "doing our taxes." Isn't it our taxes that do us?
Death and Taxes walk into a bar. The bartender takes one look at them and says, "I'm outta here!"
Death and Taxes are about to get up and leave when a waiter comes over and says, "No, don't leave. We've got to finish this joke. What will it be?"
Death says, "I'll have a Zombie, please."
The waiter turns to Taxes and asks, "And you?"
Taxes says, "I'll have Everything."
"Everything?" asks the waiter.
"Yes, Everything," says Taxes. "You might as well give it to me now because I am going to get it eventually."
